We have learned a long time ago that any comment that comes from the mouth of David Gergen, to take the position that is 180 degrees opposite. Never has one political pundit been so wrong, so often than Gergen. As Hot Air states, Davis Gergen has not failed us and has made one of the single dumbest, most paranoid racial charges of the campaign … McCain’s “Moses” ad is code for calling Obama “uppity.”

So David Gergen thinks that the McCain ad is racist? Interestingly enough, a recent Rasmussen poll shows quite a different result. Only 22% of those polled thought that the John McCain ad was racist. Also, 69% agreed that Obama was a celebrity like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Even more interesting is that 53% polled said that the Barack Obama, $1 bill comment was racist. So who is the racist? Polls say Barack Obama is.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the nation’s voters say they’ve seen news coverage of the McCain campaign commercial that includes images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and suggests that Barack Obama is a celebrity just like them. Of those, just 22% say the ad was racist while 63% say it was not.

However, Obama’s comment that his Republican opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like all the other presidents on dollar bills was seen as racist by 53%. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree.

Whether one is black or white, be very careful about making racial comments. In this case the Obama campaign admitted that the $1.00 comment meant “white people”. I think David Gergen dost protest too much.

What your quote is saying is that 69% of the voters have seen the news coverage, NOT that 69% agree with the ad. Your interpretation seems a bit off.

Now, you can count me in with the 63% that don’t see racism in the ad. I saw the add, with the intent of looking for racism (since I saw the ad after the story broke) and didn’t see any. Yet 22% say they see it….I don’t get that one. I do see the ad as a complete waste of the countries time and discussions, but I don’t see racism.

Then again, apperently 1 out of every 5 dentists recommend sugary gun to their patients who chew gum (According to trident commercials) so if 20% of dentists make no sense…….

Obama has been in Rev Wright’s company for too long and is probably brain-washed on how to blame racism when there isn’t any there…he’s a big baby…being a civil rights attorney doesn’t help anything..just a black racist celebrity rock star…who wants to use the race card which we are all sick and tired of….

Well, I guess he better be ready because the Republicans have had with his crap!!!!

And Obama says don’t criticize my wife…when Michelle says she has never been proud of this country but now she is….what exactly do you think you are going to get….

“We’re not gonna allow racism to come into this campaign in any form,” McCain said. “And so I’m gonna respond if it comes up again.”

What McCain really means is, he’s not going to acknowledge that racism exists, both in the minds of some voters as well as some campaign strategists. And by “respond” he means, he’s going to make a straw man argument whenever someone brings it up, trying to conflate a mention of racism with a perpetration of it.

That is low, McSame.

I wonder what Hillary and Bill truly think about Obama…I doubt if it’s favorable….at least Hillary had experience and could speak and address issues intelligently and spoke about solutions and didn’t change her mind everyday….whether you agreed with her or not….she was the better candidate for the Democrats…

National Security, which is a major issue in this country, I don’t think Obama sees it that way and doesn’t really know what to do about it anyway….

Obama is the one playing the race card….McCain did say that racism doesn’t exist but don’t label it that way when it wasn’t there….Obama is losing more votes all the time….let’s face it he exposes himself more and more all the time…thin-skinned, big chip on his shoulder, lying racist….and likes to drum up trouble…

Maybe we should all play the race card and just go at it….Obama is asking for it!!!!

Obama sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!The biggest disappointment I have ever seen in the Democrat party……he’s a n~~~er!!!!!!!!!!

The racist vitriolic hatred that emanates from your writing is quite sad. It’s people like you that serve to strengthen the point some make that maybe America is not ready for a black President.
